Fry and Hitchens demolish the Catholics

Given my last two cocks have been about the Catholics, this one is too good not to share. Stephen Fry and Peter Hitchens took on Doris Karloff and some Nigerian cock-hat, archbishop too busy maybe, in a debate.

Just read it in all its glory.

The standout paragraph for me though and one, if I could be arsed, to memorise is the litany of the Catholic churches evils:

The Crusades, the Inquisition, anti-semitism, treatment of women, missionaries (especially the knock-on wiping out of native American populations), slavery, the treatment of Gallileo, child abuse, collusion with the Nazis, collusion with Mussolini, collusion with the Croatian Ustasi, collusion with Franco, the sale of indulgences, the treatment of homosexuals, and, of course, the policy on the use of condoms and their “inability” to prevent the spread of HIV.

In the end, 268 voted for and 1,876 against from a starting point of 678 people for the motion (Catholic Church is a force for good) and 1,102 against it.

Utterly indefensible. Catholics: time to overthrow your masters.

More disgusting Catholic revelations

Double whammy from the NSS:

Catholic Church braces itself for more damning revelations. The church actively colluded in protecting pedophile priests.

The Vatican’s obduracy claims another 70,000 innocent lives. And that’s just from dodgy abortions. Let’s not get started on HIV in Africa.

Still, it didn’t stop a million Spanish taking to the streets to encourage more unnecessary deaths. I really hope the Spanish government hold firm in its stance against these superstitious people.

And let’s not talk about the woman scraped to death by seashells. Oh wait, that was the 5th Century. Call off the hounds. Still the cock-hats are worried that it’ll stir up hate. Newsflash: raping children then covering up is doing fine in that department already.

They’re beginning to make me feel warm towards the clams who have been rather quiet of late.

Vatican spits in the face of child abuse victims

Love that strapline. Shame it can exist though.

With the pope coming to the UK, it’s worth reminding ourselves of the organisation he represents.

Recently, the vatican was forced to respond to accusations of its pathetic response to the child abuse that has been endemic in the church. The gist of the rebuttal is:

  • Jewish synagogues have worse record and, oh
  • The assaults were by homosexuals not pedophiles

Well, that’s all right then. Some good links in that NSS story if you care to follow them including a Catholic leader writer in the Telegraph missing the point by a long way and having apoplexy along the way.

The New Humanist adds that the Vatican says: “somewhere between 1.5% and 5% of the Catholic clergy has been involved in sexual abuse cases”.

What. The. Fuck.

And that’s only the cases! Unreported incidents would push this number up, surely.

Tanya Gold in the Guardian adds a little African AIDS holcaust into the mix.

The pope and all he stands for is a load of cock.
